Foreword

PlexPy is a monitoring system written in python and designed specifically for Plex. It is an add-on which is unsupported by Plex, however the developer is now a Plex developer, so it is assumed at some point some of these features will make it into the main Plex application. PlexPy comes with a host of monitoring features, which include:

Install PlexPy

At this point, it appears as though you’re at a text installation screen and a username / password is required. Actually, that comes next. First just press ‘:’ and ‘q’ to get out and a temporary web server will be set up for you.

Configure PlexPy

Open your favourite web browser and enter in the IP Address of the server you installed PlexPy on with the 8181 as the port. e.g. 192.168.1.10:8181

You will get a PlexPy configuration screen
Click
Enter your normal Plex account username & password
Choose your Plex server from the drop down list or enter in it’s IP address
Tick on ‘Use SSL’
Leave the next few options enabled as default
Leave the notification disabled by default

You’ll receive a message that PlexPy is waiting 5 seconds to ensure authentication token is registered. This too more than 5 seconds for me. After this, you should then have the full PlexPy running in your web browser.
